The Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook asks its members to share six sentence snippets from their work each weekend (I'll beg forgiveness in advance for sometimes going over the sentence limit!). Check out the group's Facebook page to read all the snippets and add lots of great books to your TBR. You'll find all sorts of books with the common thread that the main character identifies as LGBTQ.
I'm sharing snippets from To Love the Dragon King, the first book in my Dragons of Ivria series (I promise I'm working on book 2 and will have it out as soon as possible!). To Love the Dragon King is a dragon shifter fantasy romance in which Lysander, the king of Ivria, discovers the existence of a plot against him and his country. While searching for the conspirators, he encounters Sascha, a young man whose family has been using him as a bargaining chip in that same plot. Lysander is immediately fascinated by Sascha, but can he trust him? Can they trust each other, even as they become closer and danger closes in? This snippet follows directly after the previous snippet.
“You need to go inside.” The man’s clipped tone drew Sascha’s attention once more. “You don’t want to keep Lord Jannik waiting.”
Sascha raised his chin a fraction in an effort to appear calm and dignified. “Of course.”
Heart beating wildly, he concentrated on his breathing, on taking measured, graceful steps across the stones and through the open door. His heels clacked loudly on the marble floor, the sound echoing in the large entry hall. He almost flinched at the noise, but servants still hurried around in the wake of his arrival and the departure of the daughter of the house and the stern-faced man had followed him inside—Sascha refused to show such weakness in front of them.
